IN PICTURES: CELTIC’S 2018/19 EUROPEAN ADVENTURE

CELTIC’S European adventure kicked off in Armenia on July 10 when Brendan Rodgers’ men overwhelmed Alashkert 3-0 with Odsonne Edouard, newly signed from Paris Saint-Germain for a club record £10million, getting the opening goal on the stroke of half-time.

James Forrest and Callum McGregor added the others to set up a comfortable second leg at Parkhead the following week where the Hoops had an identical score with Moussa Dembele netting two and Forrest also getting on on the act.

That set the scene for another dramatic Continental campaign for the Scottish champions.
